These easy cheesy sausage egg bites are a perfect keto-friendly and high-protein breakfast or snack, ideal for meal prep.
Equipment
- Mini Muffin Cups
- Large skillet
- Blender
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 12 ounces bulk breakfast sausage (or Italian sausage)
- 5 large eggs
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease 40 mini muffin cups (silicone ones work best!) and set them on a baking sheet for easy handling.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage until it's fully browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, about 6 minutes.
- Grab a blender and add the eggs, cottage cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until everything is super smooth – no lumps!
- Once blended, gently stir in the cooked sausage and about two-thirds of the shredded cheese (about 4 ounces).
- Carefully spoon this yummy mixture into your greased mini muffin cups. Top each one with a little sprinkle of the leftover cheese.
- Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. They're ready when they look puffed up and golden brown.
- Let them cool in the pans for a few minutes before easily popping them out to serve. Enjoy your healthy, protein-packed bites!
